On January 10, 2018, a little girl allegedly disappeared in Kathua district of Jammu province. Even before her body was recovered a week later, a sinister narrative was launched alleging that the girl was abducted, gang raped and killed by ‘RSS-minded’ Hindus in a Hindu temple. Talib Hussain, a PDP-Hurriyat activist with criminal antecedents led the campaign, in which Patwari Sanji Ram was declared as the ‘mastermind’.
Mehbooba Mufti, the then CM of J&K, deftly used this opportunity to arbitrarily arrest hundreds of young Hindus of Kathua district. Amid unprecedented protests by the Bar Association, several BJP leaders as well as leading citizens of Jammu, cutting across party lines, begged the PMO for a CBI investigation. But the demand was snubbed, and the fake narrative allowed to run amok.
Madhu Purnima Kishwar personally investigated the case over three years. With meticulously video-recorded interviews, extensive analysis of legal documents, financial transactions, and social media posts, she exposes how the Mufti government astutely used the mainstream media, foreign-funded NGOs and puppet academics to get the police and the judiciary to legally persecute innocent Hindus to further their subversive agenda of Land & Demographic Jihad in Jammu province.
Shockingly, leading journalists and ‘public intellectuals’ ignored even the post-mortem, which does not support rape charge to globally vilify Jammu Hindus and the Modi government. This book effectively blasts the fake narrative and exposes the masterminds behind it.

The Hero of Kargil & Other Stories
The stories in this book pertain to the wars, which India has fought since its Independence in 1962, 65, 71 and 99. The war stories have always aroused the curiosity of the readers. Although many books have been written on conflicts between India and its neighbours, no author has attempted to write stories. This book is therefore unique, the only one of its kind, a book of fiction on events and characters, in the background of war.
The wars have topical interest and as time passes, one forgets them and gets engrossed in current issues. This is natural. However, certain events such as missile attack on Karachi, shattering of enemy offensive by Hunter aircraft at Longewala, the role played by the aircraft carrier INS VIKRANT and the heroics of men in uniform have a lasting value, an element of permanence.
These stories provide insight into ethos, culture and lifestyle of the armed forces, their values, hardships and character. The stories narrate the account of war and unfold its conduct in easy and interesting manner.
The stories have been written in simple and endearing style. It is a book, which ought to be read by all, the old and young.SKU: n/a -

THE HINDU MUSLIM DIVIDE
-10%
English Books, Religious & Spiritual Literature, Vitasta Publishing, इतिहासTHE HINDU MUSLIM DIVIDE
Justice Sachar committee has placed Muslims at the lowest rung of India’s economic, educational and social hierarchies. If India is to develop, this vast mass of humanity cannot be left untouched and uncared for. Some of the popular myths such as Muslims producing more children and the community preferring madarsa education have been demolished. The Sachar Committee has established that only four per cent Muslims go to the madarsas. Now, it is for the community to see through the design of the mullahs who vehemently oppose reforms in the community or madarsa education.
For India to evolve into a plural society, poverty has to be overcome. This requires different policy orientations. Fundamentalism, either of the Muslim or the Hindu brand, has to be taken care of. India cannot live in the past. Nor can it allow its past to distort the present.
Amrik Singh tries to analyse the reasons for Hindu-Muslim divide and suggest solutions. The partition of India in 1947 was supposed to be a panacea for the Hindu-Muslim divide which had engulfed India for the preceding 1,000 years. Those who thought so were naive. The issue was not territorial dispute but assimilation. One belief system, new and aggressive, wanted to establish hegemony over the other and this led to confrontation. The Partition also put a question mark on the loyalty of those Muslims who chose to stay on in India. The physical division of India created an emotional turmoil in both the communities. Rather than addressing these issues, a fledgling Pakistan unleashed its territorial ambitions and fought three fratricidal wars with India. Vested interests in India gave these the colour of a clash between two communities.
The Bharatiya Janata Party that fed on Hindu nationalism did everything to perpetuate this myth. This was not opposed strongly by either the secular forces or from within the Indian Muslim community and communal forces gained in the process.
Pakistani leaders have also helped perpetuate this divide.
Amrik Singh quotes Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who had said in 1971 that there had been a thousand years of war between Hindus and Muslims in India. The Muslims in India may not be guided by what Bhutto and some others said. The Hindutva forces nonetheless will like its followers to believe that Islam is determined to conquer India and destroy its culture. The introduction of the separate electorate system by the British had reinforced this division over a period of time. Mahatma Gandhi understood this fact and tried to bridge the divide through active participation in the Khilafat movement. But that did not work.

THE INDIA THEY SAW (SET OF 4 VOLS)
AUTHOR : SANDHYA JAIN / MEENAKSHI JAIN
An account of the grandeur of ancient India as perceived by her foreign visitors from hoary times; and their wonder at her rich philosophical efflorescence and material abundance. The foreigners marvelled at the deep spiritual convictions that allowed yogis and widows to ascend a burning pyre without murmur; the social harmony of myriad tribes and castes; and above all; the common culture and love of justice permeating and binding all in seamless unity. Beginning with the Greeks and especially those who accompanied Alexander; these accounts comprise our first records into the social; moral; legal; and economic life of the Indian people; and the early
development of the civilisational paradigm of dharma; artha; kama and moksa. The rise of Christianity pushed Europe into a cocoon. Thereafter; Buddhist pilgrims from China traversed the land between the fourth and the eighth centuries; visiting the major monasteries and sites associated with the Buddha; and left interesting memoirs behind. This uninhibited intellectual and spiritual exploration of India’s Sanskritic or Indic culture ended abruptly with the rise of Islam in Arabia in the seventh century; and its outward thrust into Europe; north Africa; Central Asia and the Indian sub-continent; where it fought to establish political and religious supremacy. Possibly the last Buddhist monk to take the land route to India was the Korean pilgrim Hye Ch’O; who arrived as the armies of Islam began cutting through Central Asia…SKU: n/a -

THE KASHMIR STORY PART-2
Part 2 of The Kashmir Story starts with the Sikh rule in Kashmir under Maharaja Ranjit Singh followed by the Dogra rule. The book traces how the age-old composite culture of Kashmir (Hindus and Muslims co-existing peacefully) was replaced by the canker of communalism.
Against the backdrop of India’s independence on 15th August 1947 and the turmoil of partition unfolds the saga of the accession of Kashmir to India by Maharaja Hari Singh. From Sheikh Abdullah we arrive at his grandson Omar Abdullah. The National Conference and Congress were defeated in the 2015 elections and the BJP and PDP jointly formed the government.
The book traces the rise and spread of terrorism in the Valley. It chronicles the heroic deeds of Indian soldiers who died protecting Kashmir from Pakistani raiders and army. It describes the conflicts of Siachen and Kargil and the unfortunate exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley. It highlights the love of the Mughal emperors for Kashmir reflected in the splendid architecture of the gardens and lakes. There is an engrossing account of the rich craft traditions of Kashmir — the shawls, namdas, samovars, kanger, houseboats, the springs, lakes, forests, flora and fauna. Kashmir is rich in performing folk art and folklore. The lifestyles, social festivals of Hindus and Muslims, their food are described vividly.

The Life and Times of Subhash Chandra Bose
Give me blood and I’ll give you freedom’, declared Subhash Chandra Bose. This was exactly what he believed in. The moderate ways of the Congress were not for him. Therefore, he formed the Azad Hind Fauj to overthrow the British. Burning with patriotic zeal, he tried his best to oust the British from his motherland. He was respectfully addressed as ‘Netaji’ and he dedicated his entire life for the freedom of his country.
The annals of history have not done justice to this great patriot. It is time that he should be known by the people of India and given his due recognition.
This book attempts to bring his life into spotlight and illuminate it so that the reader is conversant with it and appreciates his efforts.SKU: n/a -

Vinayak Damodar Sarvarkar popularly known as Veer Sarvarkar has a unique place in the annals of history. Controversy surrounds his name. Some consider him to be one of the greatest revolutionaries in the freedom struggle of India while others think of him to be a communalist. However, there is no doubt that he was a freedom fighter, who not only fought for his country but also evoked feelings of patriotism in fellow citizens through his writings.
His biography is an eye-opener for it depicts the trials and tribulations of a person, who was sentenced to 50 years of hard imprisonment in the Cellular Jail of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, also called the ‘Kala Pani’.

THE MANUSMRITI (HB)
स्मृतियों या धर्मशास्त्रों में मनुस्मृति सर्वाधिक प्रामाणिक आर्ष ग्रन्थ है। मनुस्मृति का महत्त्व इसी से ज्ञात होता है कि इसे ऋषियों ने औषध कहा है – “मनुर्वै यत्किञ्च्चावदत् तद् भैषजम्” अर्थात् मनु ने जो कुछ कहा है, वह औषध के समान गुणकारी एवं लाभकारी है। शास्त्रकारों ने मनुस्मृति के महत्त्व को निर्विवाद रूप में स्वीकार करते हुए ही यह स्पष्ट घोषणा की है कि –
“मनुस्मृति-विरुद्धा या सा स्मृतिर्न प्रशस्यते। वेदार्थोपनिबद्धत्वात् प्राधान्यं हि मनोः स्मृतेः” – बृहस्पति स्मृति, संस्कार खंड 13-14
जो स्मृति मनुस्मृति के विरुद्ध है, वह प्रशंसा के योग्य नहीं है। वेदार्थों के अनुसार वर्णन होने के कारण मनुस्मृति ही सब में प्रधान एवं प्रशंसनीय है।
इस तरह दीर्घकाल से मनु का महत्त्व शिष्टजन स्वीकारते आ रहें हैं।
मनुस्मृति से न केवल वैदिक धर्मी प्रभावित थे अपितु बौद्ध मतावलम्बी भी प्रभावित थे। इसका एक उदाहरण उन्हीं के ग्रन्थ धम्मपद से देखिए –
“अभिवादनसीलस्य निच्चं बुढ्ढापचायिनो।
चत्तारो धम्मा वड्ढन्ति आयु विद्दो यसो बलम्”।।- धम्मपद 8.20
धम्मपद का ये श्लोक मनुस्मृति के निम्न श्लोक का पाली रूपान्तरण मात्र है –
“अभिवादनशीलस्य नित्यं वृद्धोपसेविनः।
चत्वारि तस्य वर्धन्ते, आयुर्विद्या यशो बलम्”।। – मनुस्मृति 2.121
बोद्ध महाकवि अश्वघोष ने भी अपनी कृति वज्रसूचिकोपनिषद् मे अनेक मनु के वचनों को उद्धृत किया है।
इस तरह मनुस्मृति का व्यापक प्रचार दृष्टिगोचर होता है लेकिन विगत कुछ वर्षों से मनुस्मृति का विरोध शुरू हो गया है। इसके निम्न कारण है –
मनु में शुद्र विरोधी श्लोकों का पाया जाना।
मनु में स्त्री विरोधी श्लोकों का पाया जाना।
कुछ अवैज्ञानिक और अवांछनीय तथ्यों का मनुस्मृति में प्राप्त होना।ये सब मनुस्मृति में उत्तरोत्तर काल में हुए प्रक्षेप का परिणाम है। मनुस्मृति में कौनसा श्लोक प्रक्षिप्त है और कौनसा सही, ये ज्ञात करने के लिए ऐसे अनुसंधात्मक कार्य की आवश्यकता है जो सकारण प्रक्षिप्त श्लोंकों का तार्किक विवरण प्रस्तुत कर सकें और मनुस्मृति के शुद्ध और वास्तविक स्वरूप का दिग्दर्शन करवा सकें।
इस विषय में डॉ.सुरेन्द्र कुमार जी ने मनुस्मृति पर अनुसंधान करते हुए, अनेक वर्षों के श्रम के पश्चात् मनुस्मृति का प्रस्तुत् भाष्य प्रकाशित किया है। प्रस्तुत् भाष्य में मनुस्मृति के प्रक्षिप्त श्लोंकों का निर्धारण निम्न मानदण्डों के आधार पर किया है –
अन्तर्विरोध या परस्परविरोध (2) प्रसंगविरोध (3) विषयविरोध या प्रकरणविरोध (4) अवान्तरविरोध (5) शैलीविरोध (6) पुनरुक्ति (7) वेदविरोध।
इन मानदण्डों के आधार पर प्रक्षिप्त श्लोक निर्धारित किए है।SKU: n/a -

They are false and malicious.He examined each and every Shlokas to detect the genuine from the interpolated ones.

The Ultimate Goal
In The Ultimate Goal, Vikram Sood, former chief of Indias external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RandAW), explains the narrative and how a countrys ability to construct, sustain and control narratives, at home and abroad, enhances its strength and position. Intelligence agencies invariably play a critical role in this, an often-indispensable tool of statecraft. A narrative may not necessarily be based on truth, but it does need to be plausible, have a meaning and create a desired perception. During most of the twentieth century, intelligence agencies helped shape narratives favourable to their countries agendas through literature, history, drama, art, music and cinema. Today, social media has become crucial to manipulating, countering or disrupting narratives, with its ability to spread fake news disinformation, and provoke reactions.
